Outgoing? Callum O'Hare

[Yogi]

The owners are twats.

Bought a club it looks like they couldn’t afford to fund. You’ve got to assume this wasn’t in the business plan they pitched to the EFL

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Didn’t Wilder mention something about ‘not being a firesale’ the other day?

Smells like one.

 

[Lowen]

Just a thought. Is Donovan the CoH replacement?

View attachment 243253

If we actually re-invested you’d just go to a 4-3-3/4-5-1 and sign a couple genuine wingers, 1 loan and 1 permanent. Peck - Phillips - Arblaster midfield 3 with Rothwell & Riedewald pushing them. Chong could play in a 3 too. Key point being you simply cannot sell O’Hare without reinvesting properly and it doesn’t seem like we will.

 

[Champagneblade]

Desperate times! The natural fit would be Chong, but from the available it's a Cannon shaped peg in a square hole

Unfortunately fit and Chong don’t seem to find themselves in the same conversation so far!

Yeah, they hadn’t sent that memo yet!

The ironic thing is the amount of belly aching Wednesday fans did. We’ve sold Brooks, Hamer, both far superior players historically in this division than Gassama and Musaba and we could be about to sell O’Hare.

Remember they had wall to wall phone ins when they actually had to sell like a proper club for once.

We are talking about Wilder who bragged about knowing Ndaiye was the most talented player at the club but doing nothing to actual play him.

I’m probably being too negative given the general atmosphere atm - he has (begrudgingly in some cases) ended up playing young players when he had no other alternatives. So we might see Sidibe…

Brooks (though for some reason he wanted to send him to chesterfield )
Peck
Arblaster
Brooks
Seriki
Osula - I’m sure was lined up to play before getting sold.
Baptist / One - in and around the squad

It wasn’t always the case and I’m not sure he actually trusts them over experienced players…. But you can’t actually knock his current record with youth

If I remember correctly Ndiaye was nearly off to Barnsley before Wilder left. It was Hecky that revi

Wouldn't say you're being negative, more of a reality of how Chris goes about his business.

If I remember correctly Ndiaye was off to Barnsley before Wilder left 2nd time, was Hecky that bled him through then it was Jokanovic's first bit of work to get him on a new deal. He would've gone 100% if Wilder never left. Not saying Sidibe is anything close to Illi but can see something similar there

We don't actually know how much of this is driven by necessity rather than the owners merely just asset stripping.

If rumours are to believed that we're extremely close on the SCR new rules than it's possible we have to sell. COH is a big earner id guess, hence he left Cov to come to us on a free.

Another kick in the testis.

Why was the manager stating that we are not in a position of a fire sale the other day then? He says that him and Snake are best mates, so surly he would know this?

 

[Hamer's Right Peg]

Might be able to fit Peck, Arblaster and Phillips into a midfield 3 now.

I don’t mind that.

I also think Peck-Phillips-Burrows might be interesting.

That’s if we went 4-3-3.

Cannon potentially misses out but it still looks quite strong.

I feel a bit resigned to him going now. Really enjoyed his play and his personality. Over 7m is bound to get our Board salivating, plus the way he arrived, he must be one of the top earners unless we gave him a lump sum.

 

[Spadge54]

Can’t wait to see ohare on splash mountain with wolverine at Christmas

 

[SLB]

Still time for Peck to be sold the way we're going.

Because he talks bollocks?

 

[HIBGIA]

Because he talks bollocks?

He has and always will, but he dosen't normally make statements like that, unless he has also not been told the truth by his mate, snake?

 

[ben1987]

I wasn’t disappointed the last time.

Well maybe I’m being a little down on him but it’s hard to feel positive about anything united right now.

He won’t lose his duals or 50/50’s and won’t be dribbled past easily.

He just isn’t creative or dynamic in any way. Seriki gives us a powerful runner who is willing to try and beat a man 1 on 1 and get balls into the box.

Choudhury is more like a Gilchrist at right back. Someone who won’t cross the half way line all the often and won’t be making many key passes.

He won’t turnover possession easily or badly but we do already have a lot of players capable of passing sideways and backwards and very few capable of seeing the killer forward pass.

He adds availability to the team, solidity but doesn’t address something we seriously lack in terms of creativity.

The ironic thing is that we put in one of the most turgid performances in living memory on Saturday and we’re on the cusp of making that team even less creative!

These owners, they’re putting in fuck all aren’t they? They got a little bit giddy that first window but as soon as they didn’t get the immediate outcome they wanted they’ve just fucked it up and given up.

This past year takes some real explaining based on two supposedly intelligent guys.

bought the club for the premier league money not interested now

 

[Chris the Blade]

To quote Manuel from Fawlty Towers, if he goes I go...

 

[Blood Red]

I'am not liking CW's positioning on this possible transfer. He looks resigned to losing him. Let's hope he has some cash and someone lined up.

 

[Frank the tank]

From.what im told they have put in quite a bit are willing to put more in but are hamstring by scr and are actively looking for investment/a sale
So its complicated

If he has cash it will be more likely to be out of his own wallet.

 

[itsinyerblood]

The writing's on the wall, whoever we sell will be replaced by someone of lesser importance.
That seems to be our strategy for recruitment, so any expectations of anything beyond this should be reined in.
